I offer: 1) general psychotherapy & 2) counseling with those with physical illnesses: 1) I use cognitive-behavioral therapy, DBT, Gestalt, & others means to help people with challenges, from crises with relationships to stress to questions about what to do next in life. 2) I counsel people with physical illness, disability, and pain. This evolved out of my own disability experience after an accident in 1984. It was a journey that led me to internal and external resources that I could not have imagined. Since then, I have trained and worked with people with many ailments, from fibromyalgia to cancer, chronic fatigue to M.S., & pain syndromes to head injuries. Please call for a free consultation.
